The Six Major Crises Facing Labour

Before the election, Sue Gray wrote a report detailing 6 problems Labour would face once they took power. Let's see whether they have caused a problem for the government yet, and, if so, how the government has gone about addressing them.

Our mission is to explain news and politics in an impartial, efficient, and accessible way, balancing import and interest while fostering independent thought.

Feel like it would be easier to list whatever isn't a crisis

[casualobserver]

so telling that nobody over 45 thinks housing is the single biggest problem facing half the country

[nerenahd]

The title is misleading. These are not "Labour's crisis", they're UK's crisis. (edit: TLDR changed the title after I made this comment).

I think Labour really screwed themselves with the "No tax rises" promise, it needs to happen to plug the black hole in the budget

[tryaluck]

The UK has the 6th largest economy in the world, but is put to shame by countries that have far smaller economies. it points to plain ineptitude and corruption to me.

Nothing on housing or immigration? If she does run the country, then her record isn't very good.

Wow it's almost as if giving huge tax breaks to the super rich and not investing in the country (just like the torries did) doesnt work. Weird. Maybe they should try giving even more money to the super rich? That will surely fix everything :)

Nationalising Thames Water is the only ling term solution to that problem. Obviously, the private sector cannot handle it.

[SamyTheSheep]

Only six? That's pretty good going.

Hallelujah The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I was owing a loan of $49, 000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery, Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $11, 000 and got my payout of $290, 500 every month…God bless Mrs Susan Jane Christy ❤️

Why would they privatise their water? I thought only America would do something that stupid

[milantoth]

For Gods sake just raise taxes. You have a big majority, and 4-5 years of rule. If you fix the countries issues, people will forget about it. But if you dont fix the issues, you will be voted out.

[MEHOLE]

A considerable number of people, I mean people in and over their 50s, will look at this and say; 'this is what you get with Labour.'

[SniffleSneeze]

Crazy how peoples have no freaking patience.... Labour can't fix 14years of idiocratie in 1month.... I hate that the media are just complaining and jumping on any ocasion to blame labour for everything..when they literally havent even reach the average probabition period of a Job in UK.

6 problems caused by tories could get the tories back in? Gotcha

[ttstyle]

Immigration is a pretty important issue which affects many others. The fact Sue Gray missed this is telling, she's clearly not competent.

[riverraven]

The government is more concerned about limiting free speech and keeping control than it is about issue solving, after all without a crisis what do we need so many politicians on the payroll for? With their sticky fingers in the cash jar we will always be in a deficit.

[oldbrokenhands]

Wow, the UK has privatized water utilities? That's insane, I'm in a Texas city that has public water utilities, never thought I'd see something in Texas that's more progressive than the UK.

[doccore]

Nothing can't be solved by declaring war on a far away power.

[willowsparks]

Where'd all this money go??? to the pockets of billionaires who exploit off shore tax havens. If they really want to fix the country they could fine and properly tax these scummy businesses
